CM Punk is an iconic skilled wrestler, however his MMA profession didn’t go very effectively. Actually, it’s honest to say it went horribly.
Punk introduced plans to strive his hand in MMA again in late 2015. Surprisingly, regardless of having no martial arts background to talk of, he was invited to make his debut within the UFC, the game’s largest promotion.
Punk made his debut within the UFC Octagon in 2016, taking over rising prospect Mickey Gall at UFC 203. He admittedly confirmed a number of coronary heart within the matchup. Nevertheless, he clearly lacked each the athleticism and ability to outlive in MMA, and was submitted in spherical one.
Regardless of his disappointing debut, Punk was given a second shot within the Octagon in 2018, when he was matched up with Mike Jackson, who was successfully a part-time fighter. That point, Punk survived all three rounds, however misplaced a transparent unanimous choice, although the battle was later dominated a No Contest when Jackson examined constructive for marijuana.
The WWE star has since thrived as a commentator for Cage Fury Preventing Championships, a regional MMA promotion, and has continued to carry out effectively as a professional wrestler. Nevertheless, it’s clear he’s not reduce out for MMA, and at 46, will most definitely by no means battle once more.
In fact, that’s to not say no WWE stars are able to reaching the best stage in MMA. Brock Lesnar, in any case, famously gained the UFC heavyweight title, and others may doubtlessly do the identical sooner or later.
